Industrial RO Series
Industrial High Pressure Brackish Water RO Elements
The S-Series proprietary thin-film reverse osmosis
membrane is used in the Industrial RO3 elements. It is
characterized by high sodium chloride rejection and a
smooth, fouling-resistant membrane surface.
The A-Series proprietary thin-film reverse osmosis
membrane is used in the Industrial RO5 and RO6 elements. It is characterized by high sodium chloride rejection and a high permeability.
Industrial RO Brackish Water Elements are used for
concentration of wastewater streams with a high osmotic pressure or a high level of solids. They can also
be used to concentrate diluted acids.
